Yoga Instructors

Kelley Rush, Founder of Two Rivers

Kelley RushAfter four years of practicing yoga, Kelley began teaching in 1995. For her, yoga mirrors the soul; connecting mind, body and spirit. She has studied extensively in the traditions of Iyengar, Viniyoga and Forrest Yoga, which emphasize body-alignment postures (asana) combined with therapeutic breath techniques (pranayama), and helping to discover your spiritual path. Kelley completed an in-depth teacher training with renowned yoga master Ana Forrest,and assists Ana in workshops and teacher trainings. Kelley completed her advanced teacher training with Shiva Rea, as well as intense study and training with Robin Rothenberg and Gary Kraftsow.

In 1998, Kelley was certified as a Prenatal Yoga Instructor through the Seattle Holistic Center after an apprenticeship with Colette Crawford, RN. She then completed labor support training (doula) with Penny Simpkin through the Seattle Midwifery School. As a vibrant teacher of all levels, her classes focus on strength-building body work and working with injuries, while journeying inward to explore the depths of your own spiritual potential.

3 years ago I decided to try out Yoga as I had never attempted it before. At the time I suffered from a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders and had really bad posture, to be honest I couldn’t even stand straight. I visited Kelley Rush at 2 Rivers Yoga in Carnation and from the second my feet crossed the door I knew that I was at home. There is a lot of positive energy flowing inside the studio and after each class you go home feeling revitalized, positive and refreshed. I have now been going to 2 Rivers Yoga for over 3 years and thanks to Kelley’s skill, talent, passion and not to forget her hilarious sense of humor! I can now stand up straight and I have to say I love downward facing dog and the shoulder stand. I would recommend this to all people of all ages and all walks of life.
